Marigold Bentley, of Quaker Peace and Social Witness, addressed Meeting for Sufferings on when and how it was best for Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM) to speak out on an issue.  She explained that BYM was prompted to say something when pressing for a change of policy, or a stop to a policy, or to help Friends become aware of a subject. She said BYM always speaks out when Britain is involved in the use of bombing.
